Who Is at Fault in a Commercial Truck Accident?

Commercial trucks can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds. That is why an accident
involving a commercial truck and another vehicle is often devastating.
Victims may suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis,
accidental amputation, organ damage, burns, and catastrophic injuries.
Thus, it is important to file a lawsuit to pursue justice from those responsible.

Who may be held liable for a commercial truck crash?

The truck driver

The trucking company

The truck manufacturer

The cargo or shipping company

If the driver failed to exercise caution and caused the accident, he or
she must be held responsible for the crash. On the other hand, if the
accident occurred due to equipment malfunctions or improperly loaded cargo,
you may be able to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer or cargo company.
A thorough investigation is necessary to determine who is at fault for
a trucking accident.

At our firm, we believe individuals and corporations must be held accountable
for negligence or recklessness. Furthermore, if the truck used a maintenance
company for repairs, you may be able to file a lawsuit against their insurance
company. Depending on the situation, the insurance company may dispute
your claim. We can use evidence to prove that the defendant was responsible
for the accident, and fight tirelessly on your behalf as you seek justice.
